A dog named "Blondie"

Recently, I read about a dog that was hit on 278 and the driver that hit the dog just kept going. This brought to mind another dog that was hit on 278, years ago. On his way to work, my husband saw another dog hit and the driver didn't bother to stop. He put the dog in the back of his pickup truck and carried her to the nearest vet. The vet took the dog in and treated him, after operating on his back legs, the dog kind of became the veterinarian's office mascot. My husband went by weekly to check on the dog and give a little contribution to her care. The receptionist named the dog "Blondie" and took her to the beach while she recuperated. When she and her husband moved to a more rural area, she took Blondie with her. Good ending for a dog, but it gets better! The neighbor's toddler fell into their backyard pool and Blondie pulled the child to safety. By saving that child, Blondie repaid those that helped her. Moral of the story - Don't ever hesitate to help, even if it's only a dog.
